I know what you mean. It took a few eps for Zoe to grow on me, either because she's written and acted with such subtlety, or because I'm just dense...I prefer the former. I love this scene in "Shindig"
---
Wash: "Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress?"
Jayne: "I'll chip in."
Zoe: "I can hurt you."
---
The way she says "I can hurt you" to Jayne is so underplayed but downright hilarious. I love Zoe.
Warrick: You didn't have to wound that man.
Mal: Yeah, I know. It was just funny.

Yay! Thank you! I knew it was funnier than I was writing it, but I was going off of one viewing 5 days before. :)

Apparently she felt I disrespected the Hacklar's culture by killing him.

-Out of Gas-
Zoe: “Get her running again?”
Mal: “Yeah.”
Zoe: “So not running now?”
Mal: “Not so much.”
Zoe: “Ah.”
Jayne: “What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this? You'll use up all the air!”
-Jaynestown-
Book: “River? Please, why don't you come on out?”
River: “No! Can't. Too much hair.”
Book: “Is that it?”
Zoe: “Hell, yes, preacher! If I didn't have stuff to get done I'd be in there with her!”
Zoe: “River, honey? He's putting the hair away now.”
River: “Doesn't matter, it'll still be there... waiting!”
-Our Mrs. Reynolds-
Jayne: “Ya see, I married me a powerful ugly creature.”
Mal: “How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people?”
Jayne: “If I could make you prettier, I would!”
Mal: “You are not the man I met a year ago.”
Jayne: “Six men came to kill me one time. The best of 'em carried this. It's a Callahan full-bore autolock, customized trigger, double cartridge, thourough-gage. This is my very favorite gun.”
Jayne: “A trade!?! Hell, it's theft! This is the best damn gun made by man! It has extreme sentimental value.”
Mal: “She has a name!”
Jayne: “So does this! I call it Vera.”
-Bushwhacked-
Alliance Comm: “You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war?”
Zoe: “I fought with a lot of people in the war.”
Alliance Comm: “And your husband?”
Zoe: “I fight with him sometimes, too.”
River: “Let's go again!”
Simon: “Later. Maybe.”
-The Train Job-
Jayne: “Nice work, dumb-ass.”
Mal: “Kaylee, what the hell's going on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?”
Zoe: “Sir, I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.”
Mal: “Hell, this job I would pull for free!”
Zoe: “Well, can I have your share?”
Mal: “No!”
Zoe: “If you die, can I have your share?”
Mal: “Yes.”
Simon: “What are we doing?”
Kaylee: “Oh, crime!”
Simon: “Crime! Good.”

LOL! Those are all so good!
And I'm with ya' on Zoe. She's so underplayed that it takes a second to get what she's saying. But I love that about her. Gina Torres is awesome. I loved her in H:TLJ too.
Keep those quotes coming folks!

Haken:
Any chance of getting a summary and quotes section added to the episode pages? (a la www.cityofangel.com does for Angel)
That would make me smile.

I've been accused of a great many things in my time. But paranoid has never been one of them. Unless people have been saying it behind my back.

I don't know if anyone else will see the funny in some of these. People have already taken my normal ones, so these are my "Well, I have a weird sense of humor" favorites.
Kaylee: So...when we made love last night....
Simon: When we WHAT?!
Kaylee: You are such an easy mark.
(That one was great because of it was both funny AND HoYay.)
River: You're afraid we're going to run out of air. That we'll die gasping. But we won't. That's not going to happen. We'll freeze to death first.
River: We'll have to call it early quantum state phenomenon. Only way to fit 5000 species of mammal on the same boat!
(I loved Summer Glau's delivery there--like that's River's idea of a hilarious joke.)
Mal: I knew you let her kiss you!
(Okay, so it was a cheesy punchline. It made me laugh.)
By the way, it's not especially funny, but was anyone else pissed that they cut Mal's little preach about how Saffron needs to stick up for herself in "Our Mrs. Reynolds?" I thought it was the best piece of serious dialogue the show's had, and they cut it out!
Oh well. You can't take the PDF from me!

Good ones from 'Safe':
My favorites...
Jayne, mocking Simon: "Dear Diary, today I was pompous and my sister was crazy...today we were kidnapped by hillfolk, never to be seen again. It was the best day ever!" Bwahahaha!
Jayne: "I like smackin' em." hehe.
Non-Jayneisms...
Simon: "I'm not sure that's such a wise suggestion."
Mal: "You might not want to mistake it for a suggestion."
Mal: "It appears we got here just in the nick of time. So what does that make us?"
Zoe: "Big damn heroes, sir."
Mal: "Ain't we just."
Book: "Folks like a man of God."
Mal: "No, they don't."
Warrick: You didn't have to wound that man.
Mal: Yeah, I know. It was just funny.

How about Jayne, on the Alliance vessel: "This place gives me an uncomfortableness." Exactly!

-Shindig-
Wash: "I been sane a long time now, and...change is good."
Wash: "Likely crash and kill us all."
Mal: "If that happens, let me know."
